Honey Riddim (2015) – Golden Platinum Empire

Golden Platinum Empire leans into a bright, springy dancehall groove here, with a light-but-punchy pulse and a glossy melodic edge that gives Honey Riddim a sweeter feel than the usual hard-shell bashment cut. Starr Blacks opens with the grounded hustler talk of By The Sweat Of Your Brow, while Montari Singjay and Mowet keep the set moving between lovers-rock tenderness and streetwise everyday imagery. Gully Bop and M Gee’s Blessings feels like the obvious crowd-grabber, and Sparky’s link-up with Terra Danger on Money Me Say adds a sharper, more playful turn. The eight-track line-up, rounded out by Towa World Orda, Mobay Prince and Hitman Walle, sits right in that 2015 wave when singjay hooks and accessible rhythms were steering dancehall toward a broader, club-ready sound.
